Experiencing motion sickness is unpleasant and frustrating, but have you ever wondered what causes you to feel it? This video from AsapSCIENCE explains what causes you to feel motion sickness and shows some ‘events’ you might avoid that can trigger it…

What I know is a (very )little bit different. One of the effects of toxins is dizziness, and the best defence is vomiting (probably assuming the poison was eaten). Ergo – dizziness is a good indication of poisoning.

Dizziness is also caused by the above-mentioned miss-match. But – the video doesn’t really address WHY this causes dizziness. My gut feeling is that it’s more complicated than that – why does ginger help so much? (And it really does!!)

I have chronic positional vertigo, so you really aren’t telling me, or anybody else the real data that they need to know to understand how it effects peoples lives on a daily basis. Really not getting it done with animation.

As a child I was always sick in the back of the car. But if I play certain computergames … wow, makes me dizzy for several days. Especially first person shooters and games like GTA. When there is a sudden movement in the game, that’s the start of a lot of trouble …. dizzyness, nausea. 3D-movies are out of the question.
I did not know that ginger helped, but I used ginger a lot in tea and I never felt better, that might be the reason, no nausea.
